'For you see, every day I love you more, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow'
A line taken from a love poem written by Rosemond Gerard in 1899, by Alphonse Augis a jeweller from Lyon, and set into an 18ct gold love token which has gone on to become one of the most highly collectible items of jewellery in modern times.
A solid 18ct diamond and ruby love charm with a rebus spelling out '+ Qu'hier - Que Demain' (more than yesterday less than tomorrow)
Set with one diamond and two synthetic rubies within a bebelled bezel.
Stamped with the signature A AUGIS to the front of the piece the back is plain and could be engraved with your loved ones initials.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-loved and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statement and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy.
